CHICAGO, Ill, September l8.-Et-
tie was done In grair, compared with
the activity OF Friday, but enough
stuff came out to break grain values 10
the lowest points Of the week. After
the fret hours business the trading
took on the usual Saturday appearance.
In the wheat pit nearly.every body sp.
peared TO be loac I'd. October spened
at so, declined 70 6si, and hung around
that figure until noon, then weakened
still further, closing Al 6si. the lowest
figure Of the day. II was intina.ed on
change that freight rates are to DO sd.
vanoed on n jnday, which will inter-
fere with the export movement.
Foreign markets were quoted quiet
and dull, and home markets were
lower.
Heavy receipts Of corn today, o..
pecislly by canal, caused much cum
ment, In view OF the talk all along
that there was no "corn In illinois,"
This, coupled with the fact that al
least two very stubborn holders let 70
Of ell they could yesterday, made the
market very weak. October, which
suffered q tc break yesterday, declined
t0ic further In the Get fifteen min.
utss. II opened al 4 ic and sold down
10 4le. Reports OF better crop In
Nebraska than was anticipated helped
the downward slide, and the decline
was not checked until 40ic vas
reached. The support at that point
was sufficient 10 cause little reaction,
and the market hrmed before the
close on enormous charters for lake
shipment. October left % at Ale.
Oats were dull and the decline In
corn caused q weak feeling. There
was t9}c decline In prices.
Provisions were sulet and dull To-
day, and prices for the leading arli.
cles, except the near deliveries Of
short rib sides, ruled 'sSsr. Offerings
were oil very large, and the demand
was less urgent than during the previ'
ous days OF the week. The longer
deliveries OF all kinds OF products we're
the weakest In sympathy with the dc.
cline In the corn market and the
prospects OF good receipts Of hogs.
Trading chiefly In contracts for 0cIo-
Der aud January delivery. The spec.
ulAt ye market closed tame. Inquify
Tor shipment was only fair. and the
few Gales reported indicated slight
concessions In prices. The receipts Of
products were fair, and the shipments
we're quite l.rge, especially OF lard and
meats. Eastern markets rather easy
and foreign markets unchanged. DC.
